BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to an optical image capturing system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a miniaturized optical image capturing system applicable to electronic products.

Description of Related Art

In recent years, with the popularity of mobile products having camera functionalities, a demand for optical system has been increasing. A photosensitive sensor of a conventional optical system is typically a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) or a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) sensor. As the advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies have allowed a pixel size of sensors to be reduced and the optical systems have gradually evolved toward a field of higher megapixels, there is an increasing demand for better image quality.

A conventional optical system employed in a portable electronic product, as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 7,869,142, mainly adopts a structure of four lens elements. Due to the popularity of mobile products with high-end specifications, such as smart phones and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), requirements of higher megapixels and better image quality have increased rapidly. However, the conventional optical systems cannot satisfy the requirements of high-end optical systems with camera functionalities.

A conventional optical image lens assembly with many lens elements is usually too bulky to have its size being miniaturized; therefore, it is not applicable to portable electronic products with a compact size. An optical image lens assembly with five lens elements, such as “Imaging Lens Assembly” disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 8,000,030, lacks good ability to correct high order aberrations and off-axis aberrations. Moreover, the space arrangement, the distribution of refractive power and the design of lens surface are not favorable to have its total track of length being effectively shortened thereof and it is thereby not easy to have a compact size with good image quality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

An optical image capturing system in order from an object side to an image side, includes a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element, a fifth lens element, a sixth lens element and a seventh lens element. The optical image capturing system further includes an image sensor disposed on an image plane of the optical image capturing system.

Each of the first lens element, the second lens element, the third lens element, the fourth lens element, the fifth lens element, the sixth lens element and the seventh lens element is a single and non-cemented lens element. That is, any two lens elements adjacent to each other are not cemented (such as the image-side surface of the first lens element and an object-side surface of the second lens element), and there is an air space between the two lens elements. That is, an air distance between two adjacent surfaces of any two adjacent lens elements. Since the manufacturing process of the cemented lenses is more complex than the non-cemented lenses. In particular, a second surface of one lens and a first surface of the following lens need to have accurate curvature to ensure these two lens elements will be highly cemented. However, during the cementing process, those two lens elements might not be highly cemented due to displacement and it is thereby not favorable for the image quality of the optical image capturing system. Therefore, the optical image capturing system of the present disclosure provides seven single and non-cemented lens elements for improving upon the problem generated by the cemented lens elements.

The first lens element with positive refractive power has a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface, so that a total track length of the optical image capturing system can be reduced by adjusting the positive refractive power of the first lens element.

The second lens element has a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface so that an astigmatic of the optical image capturing system can be corrected.

At least one of an object-side surface and an image-side surface of fourth lens element can include at least one inflection point, respectively.

The fifth lens element with negative refractive power can correct an aberration of the optical image capturing system so as to improve image quality. The fifth lens element can have a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface, so that the fifth lens element can effectively correct the astigmatism of the optical image capturing system.

The sixth lens element with positive refractive power has an object-side surface and an image-side surface which are both convex, so that an high order aberration of the optical image capturing system can be corrected so as to enhance a resolving power of the optical image capturing system for better image quality. Furthermore, the object-side surface of the sixth lens element changes from convex at a paraxial region to concave at a peripheral region so as to maintain a relative illumination of the periphery of images.

The seventh lens element with negative refractive power has an object-side surface and an image-side surface which are both concave, so that a principal point of the optical image capturing system can be positioned away from the image plane for reducing a back focal length thereof so as to further reduce the total track length of the optical image capturing system and maintain a compact size thereof. Moreover, the image-side surface of the seventh lens element changes from concave at a paraxial region to convex at a peripheral region, and the seventh lens element has at least one inflection point formed on the image-side surface thereof. Therefore, an incident angle of an off-axis field onto the image sensor can be effectively minimized, and preferably, aberrations of the off-axis field can be corrected.

When a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the seventh lens element is R13, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the seventh lens element is R14, the following relationship is satisfied: −5.0<R14/R13<1.0.

By such an arrangement, the configuration of the surface curvature of the seventh lens element is favorable for the disposition of the other lens elements, the arrangement of the aspheric surface of the other lens elements and the arrangement of the inflection point to correct the high order aberration and the off-axis aberrations, for example, the comatic aberration and the astigmatism, and to reduce the angle at which the incident light projects onto the image sensor from the off-axis field under a certain total track length and to realize an optical image capturing system with a better image quality and a compact size.

Preferably, the optical image capturing system further satisfies the following relationship: −2.0<R14/R13<0.5.

When a focal length of the optical image capturing system is f, a focal length of the sixth lens element is f6, and a focal length of the seventh lens element is f7, the following relationship is satisfied: 1.8<|f/f6|+|f/f7|<6.0.

By properly arranging the focal lengths of the sixth lens element and the seven lens element so as to form a positive-negative telephoto structure, the total track length of the optical image capturing system can be effectively reduced. Preferably, the optical image capturing system further satisfies the following relationship: 2.3<|f/f6|+|f/f7|<5.0.

When a distance in parallel with an optical axis from a maximum effective diameter position on the image-side surface of the fifth lens element to an axial vertex on the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is SAG52, and a central thickness of the fifth lens element is CT5, the following relationship is satisfied: −0.7 mm<SAG52+CT5<−0.1 mm.

Accordingly, it is favorable for manufacturing and assembling the lens elements by arranging a proper surface curvature of the image-side surface of the fifth lens element and a proper thickness of the fifth lens element.

When an Abbe number of the first lens element is V1, and an Abbe number of the second lens element is V2, the following relationship is satisfied: 28<V1−V2<42.

Accordingly, a chromatic aberration of the optical image capturing system can be corrected.

When the focal length of the optical image capturing system is f, and an axial distance from the object-side surface of the first lens element to the image-side surface of the seventh lens element is Td, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.50<Td/f<1.35.

Therefore, the total track length of the optical image capturing system can be effectively reduced so as to keep the optical image capturing system compact.

Preferably, the optical image capturing system further satisfies the following relationship: 0.80<Td/f<1.25.

When the focal length of the optical image capturing system is f, a focal length of the third lens element is f3, and a focal length of the fourth lens element is f4, the following relationship is satisfied: |f/f3|−|f/f4|<1.0.

Therefore, the focal lengths of the third lens element and the fourth lens element are favorable for reducing the sensitivity of the optical image capturing system.

When the focal length of the optical image capturing system is f, and the focal length of the seventh lens element is f7, the following relationship is satisfied: −3.0<f/f7<−1.3.

Consequently, the refractive power of the seventh lens element will be favorable for further reducing the back focal length of the optical image capturing system so as to reduce the total track length of the optical image capturing system.

When a minimum central thickness of a lens element among all lens elements of the optical image capturing system is CTmin, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.10 mm<CTmin<0.30 mm.

Therefore, by adjusting the thickness of the lens elements, it is favorable for manufacturing the lens elements, and preventing the over-thin lens elements from being formed abnormally so as to increase the yield rate of the lens elements.

When the focal length of the optical image capturing system is f, and a vertical distance from a critical point on the image-side surface of the seventh lens element to an axial vertex on the image-side surface of the seventh lens element is Yc72, the following relationship is satisfied: 0.1<Yc72/f<0.9.

Accordingly, the angle at which the incident light projects onto the image sensor from the off-axis field can be effectively reduced to improve the image quality.

When a maximal field of view of the optical image capturing system is FOV, the following relationship is satisfied: 72 degrees<FOV<95 degrees.

Accordingly, a larger field of view can be provided so as to obtain the required image scope and to avoid the image from distortion.

When the curvature radius of the image-side surface of the seventh lens element is R14, and the focal length of the optical image capturing system is f, and the following relationship is satisfied: 0.1<R14/f<1.0.

Therefore, the curvature radius of the image-side surface of the seventh lens element will be favorable for the principal point of the optical image capturing system being positioned away from the image plane so that the back focal length thereof can be reduced and the compact size thereof can be maintained.

When a maximum image height of the optical image capturing system is ImgH, and an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image plane is TTL, the following relationship is satisfied: 1.00<TTL/ImgH<1.70.

Thus, the total track length of the optical image capturing system can be reduced so as to maintain the compact size thereof, and suitable for applying to the compact portable electronic products.

In the optical image capturing system of the disclosure, the lens elements can be made of plastic or glass material. When the lens elements are made of glass material, the distribution of the refractive power of the optical image capturing system can be more flexible to design. When the lens elements are made of plastic material, the manufacturing cost thereof can be decreased.

Furthermore, surfaces of each lens element can be arranged to be aspheric, because the aspheric surface of the lens element is easy to form a shape other than spherical surface so as to have more controllable variables for eliminating the aberration thereof, and to further decrease the required number of the lens elements. Thus, the total track length of the optical image capturing system can be effectively reduced.

In the optical image capturing system of the disclosure, each of an object-side surface and an image-side surface of every lens element has a paraxial region and a peripheral region. The paraxial region refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel close to an optical axis and the peripheral region refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel away from the optical axis. Particularly, when a lens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the paraxial region of the surface is convex; and when the lens element has a concave surface, it indicates that the paraxial region of the surface is concave.

According to the optical image capturing system of the present disclosure, a critical point is a non-axial point of the lens surface where its tangent is perpendicular to the optical axis.

In the optical image capturing system of the disclosure, the optical image capturing system can include at least one stop, such as an aperture stop, a glare stop or a field stop. Said glare stop or said field stop is for eliminating the stray light and thereby improving the image resolution thereof.

In the present optical image capturing system, an aperture stop can be configured as a front stop or a middle stop. A front stop disposed between an object and a first lens element can provide a longer distance between an exit pupil of the system and an image plane and which improves the image-sensing efficiency of an image sensor. A middle stop disposed between the first lens element and an image plane is favorable for enlarging the field of view of the system and thereby provides a wider field of view for the same.

The optical image capturing system do not only equip with superior aberration correction functionality but also equip with superior image quality that can be applied to many electronic image systems, such as three-dimensional image capturing systems, digital cameras, portable devices or digital tablets.
